Urban Transport Strategy. Management in Developing Countries John A Cracknell, страница 98

•  Active policy support and investment to make walking cycling more attractive as means of transport through provision of safe and convenient facilities, and allocation of road space for these modes

•  Bus priority

•  Active Policy support for maintaining/increasing public transport mode share

•  Heavy taxes on car purchase

•  Cordon Pricing

•  Area licensing schemes

13.  The role of donors in supporting (or not) and offering advice on demand management should be discussed.  Based on the results of the review, discuss the nature of advice that donors should give in the future.  Assess the potential for introduction of demand management in developing counties, and the conditions (and timeframe) under which such potential could be realised.

14.  The review should also consider the current level of knowledge and understanding of Demand Management in the developed world, and determine the objectives, nature and location of demand management measures being considered.  Comments should be made on demand management measures currently being applied or considered for application in the developed world which could have application in the developing world.

Schedule and Reporting

15.  A short inception report in five copies will be submitted within three-four weeks of instructions to proceed with the project.  The inception report will outline an assessment of data availablity and the cities proposed for evaluation.

16.  The draft final report will be submitted in ten copies within sixteen weeks of instructions to proceed with the project.  The draft final report will present both the findings of the investigation and the data upon which the findings are based.

17.  The final report in twenty copies will be submitted within two weeks of receiving Bank comments on the draft final report.

18.  Each report (inception, draft final, and final) will be submitted in an electronic format acceptable to the Bank (for example, Microsoft Word).  All raw data files, intermediate calculations, and final calculations and spreadsheets, graphics, model runs (if any), and working papers files will also be submitted in electronic format.

Staffing

19.  It is envisaged that this study will require three  person-months of professional work.  It will be the consultants' responsibility to mobilize a team which can do justice to the requirements of the study. The resource input should include at least two person weeks of review contribution from a practising traffic management expert in a developing country

Bank Responsibilities

20.  The Bank undertakes to give the consultants access to all available data in Bank sources that are relevant to this study.

21.  Gerhard Menckhoff will be the Project Manager for the study and provide liaison between the consultants and the Bank.

It has been stressed in Chapter 3 that most traffic management techniques which have found application in developed cities are equally worthwhile in developing cities but general lessons and "recommendations for technical success" for specific traffic management measures are difficult to define as measures:

§  are highly site specific

§  are most effective if applied on a comprehensive basis ("area-wide" or "corridor") rather than as isolated interventions

§  are rarely "stand alone” - bus priority will need parking controls, pedestrian measures, junction improvements etc

§  will not usually comprise physical interventions alone; regulatory supporting actions (changes to traffic laws, enforcement etc) are necessary;
